The Final Days of Shooting

Hi!
I thought I should say something about the last three days we spent at West Stow, as its been overshadowed by the fact that we've finished completely!

If you've looked at the blog recently you'll know that Dan, Angela, Gary and I all stayed at Bertie and Jenna's flat in London on Sunday night, ready to leave bright and early Monday morning! We were up at 4am to pack up the cars, including George's when he arrived at about 4.30, them we left at 5, travelling in convoy! Though as Angela and I were at the back in my car, we were left at a red traffic light and had to make our own way there (Thank you TomTom!)

We arrived at West Stow at 7, and started unpacking the cars and sorting out what costumes we would need for the day, until we were allowed into the village itself.
During the first day we shot scenes with Eleanor and Ananias (Charlotte Hunter and Fraser Knight) and the debut of Alfie Bullard as Virginia Dare! Later in the day we shot scenes with John White (Andy Courtney) and the ships crew. Tuesday was a very different day, in that we had less scenes to shoot, but they were much longer and bigger because we had lots of extras, being the colonists!
Wednesday had a real 'end of term' feel to it, and we had cakes and balloons! We also enjoyed a sing-a-long of 'the final countdown' at lunch! Oh, and we shot some scenes with the ships crew as well!

I would also like to add my congratulations and thanks to the entire cast and crew who made this a fantastic production to work on!
All that remains now is Post production!
